I always wanted a Genesis as a kid, but then when I made a friend who had one, I ended up not really liking most of the games iconic to the platform. I really only remember 2 games fondly:
Ecco the Dolphin and Eternal Champions. And yeah, I played Sonic and Mortal Kombat and a lot of other hits.
I never heard of anyone having fond memories of ecco the dolphin.
It was so different. Especially once the aliens get involved.
My wife does.
But she also loves dolphins so could be a bias
I have fond memories of it too. Granted, those memories involved being utterly confused as to how to proceed, but also being utterly astonished by the graphics. I distinctly remember it being basically photorealistic to my 9 year old self— going back to play it with an emulator was a bit of a shock (and letdown) compared to my memories of it.
I did beat it as an adult. As a kid I may lot have been able to get anywhere, but it was magical all the same.
Really? That game was awesome and looked fantastic for its time. It was kinda hard, but not like The Lion King hard.
Same lol
Sonic 2 was my first game ever. It blew my 6 yr old brain..
